Development of ideas towards final pieces

Copper wire- spiral





Continuing with the metal gauze and pins experiment, combining the idea with that of the glass idea, having the pins sticking outwards.

The mirror placed underneath really reflects the interior of this scale-like texture the pins create. This juxtaposition between the danger of the sharp pins on the exterior, and the protective armor like texture on the interior is reflected in the mirror to create a full circle. This enhances the object's power  as it has a defence mechanism about it. You can't touch (or wouldn't want to) because of the sharp pins, however it is aesthetically pleasing to look at due to it's metallic and reflective qualities.

I plan to place this on a white or silver plinth to enhance / raise the objects power further.
